Awesome dude, happy 9th! I'm nearing up to my 8th here too :D pretty cool! Pretty wild that people are getting close to a decade for sure!
Those Splinterlands cards look awesome, I do miss playing sometimes.. but I thoroughly enjoy the free time that I have now where I'm not playing or checking it lol.
I wish more people from back in the day were here as well, but we certainly have some challenges retaining folks, particularly quality like yourself, for the long haul. Plenty of good ones have come and gone and I think their reasons for leaving are varied for sure.
One that keeps coming up is downvotes, and not just 3 or 4 here to make a point of disagreement and then people move on. The permanent downvotes are difficult to deal with. Yes I know the arguments for them and agree with them on many levels. I also agree with the arguments about them being modified in some way.
We are between a rock and a hard place though, not for lack of changing but changing it correctly so that we can still keep out bad actors, but prevent people from down voting people into oblivion because they disagree with them. Yes, again "free will, use my stake" yatta yatta. I just try to rack my brain every couple weeks to try and come up with a compromise.
My latest compromise I have yet to pen into a suggestion post.. down vote proposals.
I completely understand this :)
It is stupid when it is personal based on the content. However, without downvotes, the sludge would be unbearable. It was unbearable for a while.
The compromises so far are things like hivewatchers, but they are obviously not infallible either. Wouldn't it be nice to just have people who weren't assholes in the world?
